Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Fresh Peaches: Look for ripe peaches with a fragrant smell for the best flavor; frozen works well too.

  • Granola: Choose your favorite variety; I love using crunchy almond granola for extra texture.

  • Greek Yogurt: Opt for plain Greek yogurt; its creaminess balances the sweetness perfectly.

  • Cinnamon: A dash adds warmth and depth; sprinkle generously over the peaches.

  • Honey or Maple Syrup: Sweeten to taste; these natural sweeteners enhance the overall flavor.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing and slicing 3-4 fresh peaches into thin wedges. Combine them with honey and cinnamon in a bowl and let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb flavors.

Layer the Ingredients: In serving glasses, begin layering: start with a generous scoop of Greek yogurt at the bottom. Follow with a layer of peach slices, then sprinkle granola on top.

Create More Layers: Repeat the layering process until you reach the top of your glass—yogurt, peaches, granola—ending with a beautiful dollop of yogurt crowned with more granola.

Add Final Touches: Drizzle additional honey over the top layer for an extra touch of sweetness. Feel free to garnish with mint leaves if you’re feeling fancy!

Serve Immediately or Chill: Enjoy your parfait right away for maximum crunchiness from the granola or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving if you prefer it cool.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a bright and flavorful Classic Peach Cobbler Parfait ready to delight anyone lucky enough to share it with you!
